Resistance
Study A (cite) – short summary of study
Study B (cite) – short summary of study
Current Study
Research question
How do suspect race and resistance impact perceptions of police use of force?
Research Need
No prior research has looked at these two variables together in the same study
Hypotheses
H1: Participants will perceive greater use of force when the suspect is Black than when the suspect is White
H2: Participants will perceive greater use of force when the suspect does not resist than when the suspect resists
H3: Suspect race and resistance will interact such that participants will perceive greater force when there is no resistance compared to resistance for both Black and White suspects, but this difference will be larger for Black suspects
Proposed Method
Participants
Potential jurors recruited from people called for jury duty at the Indiana County Courthouse
Design
2 (Suspect race: White vs. Black) X 2 (Resistance: Present vs. Absent) between subjects design
Proposed Method
Procedure and Materials
Setting – Indiana County Courthouse
Consent form
Read through summary of altercation – summary contains manipulations of suspect race and resistance
Questionnaire – measure perceptions of police use of force, perceptions of the suspect, perceptions of the police officer
7 point Likert scales
Debriefing
Proposed Analysis
Factorial ANOVA
Impact of suspect race and resistance on perceptions of force
Simple effects analysis if needed
Independent samples t test
